For a complete contrast to my recent photographs of beautiful flowers, here’s another street photography scene from Sicily this time converted to monochrome. Black & White gives me the gritty feel and also a timelessness that I was looking for:

I so adore this black and white. Gorgeous!
Thanks, Cee! 🙂
So much better than silly flowers! 🙂 Nice and gritty. And timeless. Just a great shot with perfect processing.
Oh, thanks Emilio!! Silly flowers happen to brighten up my day, but I know what you mean!! Glad you like this, and thanks for the comment re processing 😀
That’s a lovely shot Sue! 🙂
Thanks, Adrian, a quick shot as a rapid response to something seen out of the corner of my eye!
Love the texture of the cobbles street.
Isn’t it great!
This is classical street photography. It could have been taken by Cartier-Bresson. Very nice Sue.
Many thanks for your most flattering comment, Otto – much appreciated 🙂
I like this B&W picture very much! a lot of atmosphere…
Thank you!
Very nice Sue, like a still from a 1960s Italian film. My kind of thing.
Best wishes, Pete.
And mine too! I need to do more of this kind of thing….
Super, Sue! I could easily have it on my wall. Atmosphere and perfect in B&W
Great! Glad you like it, Ann-Christine – I was very pleased with it 🙂
superb Sue!!
Thanks, Cybele – I was very pleased with this one 🙂
A very strong and moody image Sue! 😀 The lines leading to the walking men are just perfect!
Thanks, Alex…I thought so, too!
Yes, it looks great in B&W. A timeless street scene, Sue
Many thanks, Andy….timeless is what I was looking for! 🙂
Yes, I like this too. 🙂 (and I like your silly flowers)
Yay! What a cheek Emilio has – silly flowers indeed!! 😳
I felt quite guilty consigning mine to the bin yesterday! Another of the effects of blogging 🙂 🙂
😀😀
Lots of texture and character in this one Sue
I was very pleased with this!
As an echo, steps fade away into the distance and the street recovers its eerie silence.
I love your words for my images, Marcelo 🙂
I agree with Otto 🙂
Thanks, Paula – most kind
Classic!
So others have suggested as well, Lisa! So I’m happy to agree 😀
